WhySharksMatter is headed to New Zealand for the International Congress for Conservation Biology

As you read this, I’ll be on a plane over the Pacific Ocean. I’m on my way to Auckland, New Zealand for the 25th annual International Congress for Conservation Biology!  This meeting, organized by the Society for Conservation Biology, brings together conservation scientists from around the world. I will be live-Tweeting talks and plenary speeches that I think you’ll find interesting and relevant, so be sure to follow me on Twitter if you don’t already. If any Southern Fried Science readers are also attending the meeting (or if you live in Auckland), come say hello- I always like to meet readers in person.
